Ryan’s college experience took a dramatic turn during his senior year when he revealed that his girlfriend, Shelly, was pregnant. Concerned for him, I suggested a DNA test, which confirmed he was the father. However, when I first met Shelly, she confronted me about the test, souring our relationship from the start.

As their relationship progressed and they became engaged, Shelly began slandering me, twisting my words and turning my family against me. Caught in the middle, Ryan gave me an ultimatum: apologize to Shelly or miss the wedding. I chose to uphold my integrity, resulting in my uninvitation and a painful fallout.
